Life & Mana stolen...idea/suggestion or it is a bug

Bug Report
1

Hello to the developers of Diablo 2 Resurrected.

I have always wondered.
How can you steal life or mana from a Skeleton which is NOT made of flesh & blood nor can it cast magic.

So I like to represent my idea/suggestion or maybe it is a bug…

Skeleton
Weapon - Axe
Flesh & blood = No Steal Life from this skeleton = No
Cast magic = No Steal Mana from this skeleton = No

Skeleton Archer
Weapon - Bow
Flesh & blood = No Steal Life from this skeleton = No
Cast magic = No Steal Mana from this skeleton = No
(Some Skeleton Archers does fire magical arrows such as fire/cold/lightning, in that case…yes to Steal Mana)

Skeleton Mage / Bone Ash
Flesh & blood = No Steal Life from this skeleton = No
Cast magic = Yes Steal Mana from this skeleton = Yes

Rakanishu
Weapon - Sword
Flesh & blood = Yes Steal Life from Rakanishu = Yes
Cast magic = No Steal Mana from Rakanishu = No

Fallen Shaman
Weapon - Staff
Flesh & blood = Yes Steal Life from Fallen Shaman = Yes
Cast magic = Yes Steal Mana from Fallen Shaman = Yes

Thank you for reading this.

Hello there =]
I must say i’m a bit confused by your post.
I mean, you already can’t leech life or mana from skeletons, since they have 0% drain effectiveness.
The only exception is when they are cursed with life tap, which is universal.

What is it that you dont understand about my post?

Do pick something.

If you play on Normal or Nightmare all kinds of life/mana stolen might be enabled on all minions (I honestly dont recall that). On hell level, it is a little different.

Let me try my mini version explanation.

Example…
You cant life/mana leech from a Skeleton warrrior.
The skeleton is not made of flesh & blood & doesnt cast magic.

You cant life/mana leech from a Skeleton mage.
The skeleton is not made of flesh & blood, BUT does cast magic.
This is where I find it wrong…–>It uses mana to cast magic, this Skeleton Mage should enable us to leech mana because it uses mana to cast magic against us.

I hope my explanation were better this time. :slight_smile:

I was especially confused by lines 2 & 3 on your original post, because skeletons can’t be leeched from already.

But i get the whole suggestion, a more realistic approach, interesting, especially for mana.
Unfortunately, i believe it’s extremely unlikely that they change something like leech.

That´s true & there is nothing wrong with the skeleton warriors. I do agree that Skeleton warriors shouldnt & doesnt allow us to life/mana leech when hitting them.
I just added it so Blizzard can see it more clearly of what I mean.

I do disagree with the example of Skeleton mage.
If I hit a skeleton mage, I dont leech mana. I should leech mana, Skeleton mage uses mana to cast.

You might not believe that Blizzard will make the changes, but I do believe they will, i just wonder if I am still alive by that time. :stuck_out_tongue:
